For so many women, clutter isn’t really about “the stuff.”

It’s about overwhelm.

It’s about feeling stuck.

It's about running a busy life and home and not feeling like you have the time.

It’s about a mind that feels as chaotic as the room you’re standing in.

It's about how it affects how you feel about yourself.

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Valerie Huard - a trauma-informed decluttering coach whose own journey with CPTSD led her to discover how deeply physical clutter mirrors emotional clutter.

Together, we explore:

💛 why clutter is never about laziness

💛 how trauma, burnout, or ADHD make clutter feel impossible to manage

💛 the link between declutter and your self-worth

💛 Valerie’s four-step decluttering framework that helps create lasting change

💛 how simple tools (like gloves!) can reduce overwhelm for neurodivergent minds

💛 what it looks like to build a home environment that supports your wellbeing

This is not an episode about having a Pinterest-perfect home.

It’s about creating space - mentally, emotionally, and physically - so you can breathe, and feel happy and confident again.
